The province's police watchdog has been called in after a man died following an altercation with officers at a hotel in Oakville.
The Special Investigations Unit says Halton Regional Police officers were called to a hotel around 5:30 a.m. on Friday where they had "an interaction" with a 41-year-old man.
The SIU says an officer discharged his firearm and the man was hit.
The man was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The SIU has assigned seven investigators and three forensic investigators to probe the incident.
The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
